At the state funeral at the National Cathedral for his father, former President George H.W. Bush, the younger Bush greeted President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, as well the other living former presidents and first ladies. While he shook hands with the Trumps, Clintons, Carters and Barack Obama, he saved a special treat for Michelle Obama, according to People.

“I didn’t realize at the time that anybody noticed what we were doing,” Michelle Obama had said previously during an appearance on the “Today” show. “(President Bush) is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the formers gather. So we’re together all the time, and I love him to death. He’s a wonderful man. He’s a funny man.”

“That’s what people are hungry for. … Party doesn’t separate us; color, gender, those kinds of things don’t separate us. It’s the message that we send,” she also said.

In the same interview, Obama shared a little secret — the piece of candy from the McCain ceremony was actually a cough drop from the Bush’s time at the White House.

“They were old cough drops,” Obama said. “That’s the funny thing, because they were in the little White House box, and I was like, ‘How long have you had these?’ And he said, ‘A long time, we got a lot of these!’”

Obama canceled book tour appearances in Paris and Berlin for her memoir, “Becoming,” so that she could attend the funeral services.

“It’s important to me to join the Bush family in celebrating President George H.W. Bush’s exemplary life,” she tweeted. “This will unfortunately preclude my visits to Paris and Berlin. I’ve been deeply touched by the enthusiasm for my memoir, and I’m working to reschedule my trip for next year.

“I hope readers and ticket holders will understand my decision regarding my desire to attend President Bush’s funeral, and join me in paying tribute to him and his tremendous contributions to our world.”

She also paid tribute to George H.W. Bush with an Instagram post, which featured an image of Bush giving Obama a kiss on the cheek.

“As a public servant, father, and grandfather, President George H.W. Bush was an extraordinary example for us all. His spirit of service and decency will be missed by many, including our family,” she wrote in the post. “I hope his memory will be a guiding light for our country and those around the world.”
